2006 Porsche 996 Carrera 4 S – Sold

Known internally as the C4S, this revised take on the all-wheel-drive 911 is a flat-out gorgeous car. The big revisions were the Turbo-style flared rear quarters, adding visual heft and 2.4 inches of width to what was the weak, receding end of the tapering standard body and simultaneously creating room for 295/30ZR-18s on 11-inch-wide rims. Leaving the Turbo's air-gulping scoops on the flanks (no intercooler to feed) lets us see the sculptural continuity of the shape. In the rear view, a band of red connects the taillights across the car's full width. In front, you see Turbo-size air inlets. And look carefully at the spoiler's lower lip and you'll see It's trimmed higher across the center. This adjustment, along with a rear spoiler that deploys to a slightly different position than before tailors the front-to-rear balance of aerodynamic lift

This car on offer is cult cool and has been retrofitted with the "hens teeth" rare hollowed turbo wheels. painted in Polar silver over black leather with sun roof, Bose sound system, Sat nav and has thy holly grail manual gearbox. The service and maintenance records that accompany the car are ridiculously comprehensive and the last three owners are all known to The Archive as solid and credible petrol heads in their own right.
